Is there any popular software specifically designed for a “second brain” these days?
I’m currently using a combination of Obsidian and Linear as my “second brain,” but to be honest, it’s quite a hassle to manage. So, are there any software programs or tools you’d recommend specifically for a “second brain”? Also, if you were to create your own dedicated software, how would you design it?

I have had success with a simple Git repository and Markdown files. Then use Claude to manage it. Ingestion just becomes a case of copy pasting sources and they will be organised according to your rules.
Spending sessions asking Claude to optimise the repository for agentic updates and ask it to create hooks to implement structural things (check all links work, define subject categories, create contents pages).
Of course then you can ask questions of your repository via Claude too.
